Red blood cells are put into a beaker of distilled water and left for several hours. A drop of the solution of water and red blood cells is examined under a microscope. Based upon this information what would you observe that occurred to the red blood cells? Have lost water and shrunk up Have burst, releasing their contents into the water Have lost water and pulled away from the cell wall Have taken in water and swelled up but not burst because of the cell wall Have remained unchanged

In plant cells, carbon dioxide and water are joined to form carbohydrates. Plant cells can also break down carbohydrates such as glucose, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. No one has ever observed such reactions between water and carbon dioxide outside of living cells. What allows simple molecules to assemble into more complex molecules, and also disassemble, in cells but not in other, nonbiological environments?

All solutions must be based on work and/or energy methods. 10 points each. Partial credit is available. 1) A 1.4 kg falling object (subject to the effects of aerodynamic drag) is 1800 m high, traveling at 34 m/s and has not yet reached terminal speed. It first reaches terminal speed at a height of 1340 m and the terminal speed is 37.3 m/s. a) Determine if the mechanical energy ( ? E = K +Ug ) of the system consisting of the falling object and Earth’s gravity field has been conserved during the fall from 1800 m to 500 m. b) How much work (if any) including the correct sign (+ or -­‐) has been done on the system over this interval (presumably by the external drag force)? c) Will the energy of the system consisting of the object, the gravity field and the surrounding air be conserved over this interval? Explain your answer. Is there an additional energy that must be accounted for in this analysis? What is it and how much of it has been generated? Note: terminal speed is a constant speed. 2) The 0.2 kg box below slides down a curved ramp, jumps a small gap and lands on a flat platform. At the point on the ramp shown it is 1.5 m above the floor and its speed is 2.0 m/s. At the point shown on the platform the box is 0.4 m above the floor and sliding at 4.2 m/s. a) If we consider a system consisting of the box and Earth’s gravity field so that ? E = K +Ug , has the energy of this system been conserved during the described process? Explain how you know. b) If we consider the exact same process but broaden our system definition so that ? E = K +Ug + Eother and ? Eother includes any “other” form of energy that might have been produced through the process (most of it is thermal), what objects are included in this system? Discuss, don’t just state a list. c) Determine ? ΔEother for the process as described. d) How much kinetic energy would the box have on the platform if ? ΔEother = 0 ? Phy 2201 page – 2 – 3) The system below consists of two masses attached through a string of negligible mass over a pulley that turns with negligible friction. ? m1 > m2 and the sphere ? m2 is immersed in a viscous fluid that exerts a considerable drag force. Starting from rest the system is set into motion by releasing ? m1 which causes this mass to descend while the other rises (assume the string instantly becomes taut). In what follows analyze the motion by defining the “system” as both masses and Earth’s gravity field. a) Once released each mass travels a distance ? h1 and somewhere during this interval both masses reach terminal speed ? VT . Write out (derive/formulate) a mathematical expression for the change of the potential energy of the system over this interval (Using the givens! Don’t make up numbers or define your own variable names.) Has the system gained or lost potential energy? Explain how you know. b) Write out (derive/formulate) a mathematical expression for the change in the kinetic energy of the system over the ? h1 interval (using the givens). Write out an expression for the work done by the drag force over this interval using the givens. c) Following the ? h1 interval the system moves a distance ? h2 while the sphere is still immersed in the fluid. Write out an expression for the work done by the drag force over this interval. Can you tell from this expression if the work done by drag is positive or negative? (You should.) Which is it and how do you know? d) If ? h1 = h2 over which interval does the drag force do more work in an absolute value sense? How do you know? Phy 2201 page – 3 – 4) A 48 kg diver jumps off a cliff (with a running start) into the ocean. The cliff is 50 m above the ocean below. Her coach, using a video of the dive, determines that at a point in flight when she has risen 0.7 m above the cliff, her speed1 (center of mass) is 0.5 m/s. Frictional effects such as drag are negligible. Formulate your solution using the diver and Earth’s gravity field as a system. Gravity does not do work on this system. It’s effects are captured in changes in potential energy. a) How much kinetic energy did she have at takeoff? What was her speed? b) How much kinetic energy will she have as she splashes into the ocean? c) What minimum amount of chemical energy needed to be consumed within the diver’s body in order for her to walk to the cliff, from ocean level, and then take off (jump)? Explain how you know. 1 Includes both x and y velocity components. This is not the highest point in the jump.

Grading Policy Momentum and Internal Forces Learning Goal: To understand the concept of total momentum for a system of objects and the effect of the internal forces on the total momentum. We begin by introducing the following terms: System: Any collection of objects, either pointlike or extended. In many momentum-related problems, you have a certain freedom in choosing the objects to be considered as your system. Making a wise choice is often a crucial step in solving the problem. Internal force: Any force interaction between two objects belonging to the chosen system. Let us stress that both interacting objects must belong to the system. External force: Any force interaction between objects at least one of which does not belong to the chosen system; in other words, at least one of the objects is external to the system. Closed system: a system that is not subject to any external forces. Total momentum: The vector sum of the individual momenta of all objects constituting the system. In this problem, you will analyze a system composed of two blocks, 1 and 2, of respective masses and . To simplify the analysis, we will make several assumptions: The blocks can move in only one dimension, namely, 1. along the x axis. 2. The masses of the blocks remain constant. 3. The system is closed. At time , the x components of the velocity and the acceleration of block 1 are denoted by and . Similarly, the x components of the velocity and acceleration of block 2 are denoted by and . In this problem, you will show that the total momentum of the system is not changed by the presence of internal forces. m1 m2 t v1(t) a1 (t) v2 (t) a2 (t) Part A Find , the x component of the total momentum of the system at time .

An 80- quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43- football horizontally at 15 . How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball? PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY 9.1 Conservation of momentum MODEL: Clearly define the system. If possible, choose a system that is isolated ( ) or within which the interactions are sufficiently short and intense that you can ignore external forces for the duration of the interaction (the impulse approximation). Momentum is conserved. If it is not possible to choose an isolated system, try to divide the problem into parts such that momentum is conserved during one segment of the motion. Other segments of the motion can be analyzed using Newton’s laws or, as you will learn later, conservation of energy. VISUALIZE: Draw a before-and-after pictorial representation.
